In accordance with André Breton she included him in the symbolist exhibition of 1958, but she was particularly concerned with his graphic oeuvre: in 1978 she organized an exhibition of his complete printed works. The exhibition was also shown at the Musée de la Ville de Strasbourg (1995) and at the Kunstmuseum, Basle (1996).
